    UPDATE! Taken from Wikipedia!

    Mission to find missing climber was continue right now! The water at Poring Hot Springs, a popular tourist area near Ranau, also turned black after the event. Other infrastructures were also reportedly damaged with around 23 schools in six different districts been affected, while Ranau Mosque was effectively damaged due to the tremor. Serious damages occurred to the hostels and resthouse near the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Buildings are similarly affected by the earthquake in Kota Belud and Tuaran.

    LOL!!! Actually it was because the dragon up in the mountain farted a tad too loud hurting the donkey's ear.

    In any case, I got a family friend living there. They're ok.

    UPDATE!

    - Earthquake aftermath was still continue up to 90 or more.
    - Some buildings was collapsed due to non-stop aftermath quakes.
    - Here the name of 18 dead peoples! Visit Wikipedia (in Malay language) here!

    https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gempa_bumi_Sabah_2015

    I give you the meaning of KINABALU, which taken of AKI NABALU! AKI is a nenek moyang (forefather or ancestor) and NABALU is a gunung (mountain). Here the advice from ancient person - "Do not ramble, do not pluck a plant, do not take bold rock and no naked time" (Jangan bercakap besar, jangan petik tumbuhan, jangan ambil batu dari gunung dan jangan berbogel). That's is a taboos (pantang larang)! Remember it, before your guys visit Malaysia, specially Sabah for future time! :)
